Undeploying a toolkit tip on a Process Center server

You can use the Process Center console to undeploy a toolkit tip from the Process Center server. When you undeploy a tip, all advanced content (which is generated in IBM® Integration Designer) artifacts and the associated business-level application (BLA) are removed from the server.

A BLA is a WebSphere® Application Server configuration artifact that is created only for a snapshot that has advanced content generated in IBM Integration Designer.

Before you begin

When you use the Process Center console to undeploy, it first stops, then undeploys the BLA. In a network deployment environment, make sure that all the node agents are active before you stop a BLA. If a node is inactive, the BLA enters the UNKNOWN state instead of the STOPPED state and fails to stop, although the stop command runs asynchronously and completes without an error. The failure to stop along with the UNKNOWN state prevents you from undeploying the BLA.

About this task

If the toolkit uses BPEL processes, the associated process instance data is cleaned up from the Business Process Choreographer database before the toolkit tip is undeployed.

Procedure

  1. From the Process Center console, select the Toolkits tab.
  2. Select the appropriate toolkit. and then click the Snapshots option. In the list of snapshots, the tip (named Current, by default) is listed first.
  3. Click Undeploy from the tip's pop-up menu (the downward arrow icon used to access actions for the tip).
  4. Click OK.

What to do next

If you want to use the toolkit tip, perform a playback in the Process Designer or publish the tip from IBM Integration Designer.
